Safety 1st Secure-to-Explore Adhesive Locks

Not very durable. I've had these installed for 3 or 4 months and about 2 weeks ago one of the hook parts broke off when my husband bumped into it. I figured it was because he hit it pretty hard. Well then tonight another one broke in the same way when I was simply opening a cabinet. It is probably one of the cabinet we open most, but still it should last longer than 3 or 4 months. Luckily I have a couple extras but I'd be pretty annoyed if I had to go out and buy a new package to replace it. I wish I could use a different style on these cabinets but some of the others only work on my drawers. I will say I do like the design of the other piece and the additional sticky piece that helps it be more secure when little ones are trying to open the cabinets.

I got this item at the perfect time my little one just began crawling. I was excited by the description. This product should be easy to install and not be an eye sore. I truly appreciate not needing to find ways to hide it myself. Easy and quick instruction’s. Was able to put them up within 5 mins. I used these in my kitchen. Would use again and would give to expecting mothers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have an 18 month toddler whose current favorite pass time is getting into all of our cabinets and drawers. We are currently living with my in-laws and they wanted to have babyproofing locks that were semipermanent and hidden. These are the perfect locks for our situation but unfortunately, they did not work with any of my in-laws cabinets. As you can see from the photo, there is a short groove on the cabinet door and the frame of the actual cabinets have a 3/4 inch rail. This makes it so that the door is unable to close all the way with these adhesive locks. The instructions were easy to follow, but unfortunately, they do not work with our current cabinets. I will say that they are an excellent product and the adhesives are very strong and sticky. We will save them for our future house as they are exactly what my wife was looking for originally. We are disappointed they didn't work with our in-law's cabinets, but would recommend them to others and look forward to using them in our future kitchen. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with these babyproofing locks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first adhesive lock that could stand up to my baby and toddler! Not only does the adhesive seem a lot stronger, but the latch is more secure than any others we have tried, while still being easy for adults. These were easy to install on our vanity cabinets (no drilling/holes!) and maintain our aesthetic thanks to the hidden design. We’ll be buying more for our kitchen and recommending to the grandparents. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this babyproofing locks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a simple way to keep my 3 year old and 10 month old out of our medicine cabinet, which is currently easily accessible to both of them. It’s in the bottom cupboard of a standalone bathroom tower, so it’s been hard to find a secure way to keep it locked. I received these locks as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and was excited to give them a try. Sadly, I tried and failed multiple times to install this lock. The directions were confusing and there was no clear explanation of how they actually work. I asked my husband to take a look, and after a few minutes of trying to decipher the instructions, he also grew frustrated and gave up. I’m sure these locks will work for someone with a bit more patience, but we abandoned this project for now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Safety 1st Secure-to-Explore Adhesive Locks through Stellar Panel. As my little ones have become more mobile and inquisitive I was eager to try these locks on my kitchen cabinets. Overall, the installation seemed a bit daunting- but in reality the locks were very easy to apply. Unfortunately the functionality of these particular locks do not work on the type of cabinet I most needed them for. That said, I love how invisible the locks are- as someone who values the aesthetics in my home. These are definitely a great choice if keeping your home looking sleek and clean is a priority to you as there are likely other more convenient or easier locks systems out there that just don't look as nice. It's also a great perk that these locks can be used either with cabinets or drawers! I look forward to trying them in other areas of my home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mom of 6, I have baby proofed my home a number of times. My current youngest is 10 months and quite mobile so we're back to this stage again. When I saw these Secure-to-Explore adhesive locks from Safety 1st I knew I needed them, especially because they looked super easy to install. I love that they come already put together so you don't have to worry about aligning the ledge with the lock (I hope that makes sense). I think for normal cabinets it would minimize the measurement process which is great. Unfortunately, my cabinets are framed a bit on the doors, so the way it is set up doesn't quite work. It leads to the latch portion of the lock hanging half over the top of the frame, thus preventing my cabinet door from closing. I've used lots of other saftey latches with no issues, so I think it's just that these don't quite work with my cabinets. However, I did use these with my bathroom drawers (no frames here!) and they worked flawlessly. It was easy to set them up and make them stick. If I ever need to unstick them a blow dryer will loosen the adhesive and ita a simple removal. All in all, while these didn't work where I wanted to use them, they did work elsewhere. If you have framed doors, these are not the ones for you. If you have normal doors or drawers these are easy easy! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for letting me give these a try in exchange for my review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Safety 1st Secure-to-Explore Adhesive Locks through Stellar Product Testing and they were great. They were easy to install and secured the cabinets with ease. The way the locks were designed made it so you barely noticed they were on the cabinets. They also kept kitchen products that are under the sink safely secured away from my crawling daughter who is very curious at this age. It’s a plus that the locks are white and ended up matching the cabinets in my home. I would highly recommend these locks !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I as part of the stellar product testing panel It was a bit challenging to figure out how these worked, but once we were able to get them in place and secure them, they were extremely effective. Almost too effective as I had to review how to unlock them multiple times.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this item through Stellar Product Testing Panel! The locks are so easy to install! You just need to pell off the stickers or you can also drill them. I put mine in the kitchen cabinet as my baby was always trying to open it, now problem solved. I really like them, you don’t see them at all. Unless child is trying to open it but overall it is pretty good! 100% recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The idea of adhesive locks to get little ones out of drawers and cabinets works great for people who are renting and do not want to perforate any surfaces. The instructions do say to leave it for 24 hours before using so that the adhesive qualities are at their best when one starts using them. They work for both framed and frameless cabinets. In our case, we had a frameless cabinet. The way the panel attaches to the vertical interior of the cabinet makes the second panel that is horizontal, jut out just a tad. So it wasn’t completely flush for us, making the cabinet door stick out ever so slightly. It is not noticeable at all but the adhesive area also sticks out and I have worried what it will look like after a few months with dust. I’ve attached a photo of the interior to show this and one of how much one door sticks out versus one that doesn’t (because the other door did not yet have the adhesive lock). To unlock, one has to slightly open the door, then press down on the bar for it to get clearance from the lock and voila. So far our little one has not been keen on opening cabinets or drawers but we’re hoping when he realizes he can’t open them anyway, that he’ll lose interest. So far, so good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With a newly mobile 7 month old, my stress was at an all time high worrying about baby proofing my brand new kitchen. I then remembered I received these baby proofing locks from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Perfect timing!! I called my husband into the kitchen and he installed them in just a few minutes. The directions were clear on the installation process. Just a word of warning to future installers- my husband was a little too quick and didn’t consider the spacing of the cabinet handle screws and had to reinstall one of them (that was user error) but hoping to make things easier for the next person. We recently remodeled our kitchen and I worried baby proofing would cause permanent damage, but no screws needed here! I can now sleep peacefully knowing my baby won’t be getting into anything he shouldn’t be and my brand new kitchen stays as perfect as possible (well minus the messy handprints from a curious baby but at least now he can’t get into those cabinets).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sure! Here’s the updated review: ⸻ As my little one becomes more curious, babyproofing has become a top priority, and Safety 1st Locks have given me great peace of mind. These locks are sturdy, reliable, and keep curious little hands out of cabinets and drawers without sacrificing convenience for adults. We used the adhesive option, so there was no need to drill, making installation incredibly quick and hassle-free. I installed them in the kitchen, and the hidden design is a huge plus—everything stays secure while maintaining the clean look of my home. The design let us use it in a cabinet and drawer. If you’re looking for an easy and effective way to babyproof, these locks are the way to go.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These adhesive locks have been a lifesaver for my crawling infant! Whether I’m cooking in the kitchen or getting ready in the bathroom, these have helped keep the cabinet locked while she’s pulling up on them. Highly recommend this product ! Stellar product testing panel knows exactly how to provide safe, easy to use, and reliable products that help keep a home adaptive for happy babies and parents on the move!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These locks are great for baby proofing your cabinets and drawers. The entire lock attaches firmly on the inside of your cabinets so you don’t have any mechanisms showing on the outside, which I love in my beautiful kitchen. They are easy to unlock with the push of a finger once installed, and strong enough that they won’t be getting pulled off. Installing the first one took me a few minutes and a few times of reading the directions, but once I got the first one on, the second one took me 10 seconds. I’m happy knowing my baby won’t be getting into the cabinets especially where my cleaning products are. My only concern for these is that the gap in the cabinet when trying to open may leave room to pinch tiny fingers. I received this product free of charge from the Stellar Testing Panel in exchange for my honest unbiased review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These locks did not work well for our cabinet layout. Our cabinets are considered “framed cabinets” based on the instructions. Each cabinet in our kitchen has a drawer above it. However, the frame is very small/short in height. The drawer and cabinet sit about 1 cm apart. When I tried to twist this lock, my fingers couldn’t reach it. I could barely fit my fingers between the door and drawer, and I have small hands (5.5 ring size). If you have a wider frame, or frameless cabinets this would be a good item to try! The twisting mechanism is strong enough to be hard for kids (and elderly) but not difficult for the average adult. The product itself seems very durable and reliable! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this babyproofing locks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given these babyproofing locks to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I am only rating it as a four star product because for framed cabinets, the top of the frame did not allow for a top mount. The bottom mount did work out well. The locks were easy to install and are adult friendly. For installation, no screws were needed which is nice when you don’t want to drill holes into wood frames. Regardless of the one con to this product, I will be purchasing some for the other cabinets. Please see my pictures for where I was able to install the locks and how far my two year old was able to open the cabinet with just bottom mounts installed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The locks were very easy to assemble on our kitchen cabinets. I used the adhesive method so there was a 24 hour waiting period before the lock could be used to ensure it was secure on the cabinet. Not only is it more visually appealing that you can’t see the lock from the outside, but it also means my toddler can’t see the lock to mess with and try to figure out how to break it. It does take a little force to rotate the locking mechanism so it feels like it could easily break. However, we have not had that issue yet. I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let’s start off by saying I received this baby-proofing locks from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. When I first received these in the mail. I felt very excited to use them. For I have a 7month old who loves opening and shutting our cabinets. The instructions for installing was very clear on how to install these locks. But I must say these cabinet locks isn’t for all types of cabinets. Your cabinet must have a flat surface on the top part of your cabinets in the inside. If not it won’t work. Because you need a flat surface inside your cabinets to stick the adhesive on to. I had to find a cabinet in my house that had a flat surface to test these out. I will say these locks feel very well made. They are very easy to install. You can use the adhesive or you can drill it on. I used the adhesive and it’s stayed on my cabinets and is still sticking very well. It’s a breeze for adults to unlock and lock cabinets up with this lock. No way my baby can unlatch our cabinets with this lock on. I would only recommend these baby proof locks if you have the top part inside your cabinets if not. It’s a no. Thanks for taking time out to read my review. I hope it helped you decide if to buy these locks or not.
